SFECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 591,929, dated October19, 1897 Application filed March 4, 1896. Serial No. 581,829. (Nomodel.)

Florida, have invented certain new and use! f ul Improvements inIroning-Tables; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear,

and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inironing-tables, and it has for its object, among others, to provide asimlple, cheap, portable and foldable ironingtab e.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appearand the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in theappended claims.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings,vwhich, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of thisspecification, and in which-c Figure l is a perspective view of myimproved ironing-table in position for use. Fig. 2 is a view of the sameclosed. Fig. 3 is a section through the same.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts in the several views.

Referring now to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates anironing-board of any suitable or well-known construction.4 It forms thetop of the table and has upon its under side at one end a cleat a, theinner face of which is beveled, as seen in Fig. l, to receive thebeveled end of the brace B, which at its other end is hinged as at b tothe base or support C, which support may be of any desiredcharacter-such, for instance, as that shown in the drawings-the saidbrace in this instance being shown composed'of two arms andconnectingbraces and adapted to fold down fiat against the support Cwhen the device is not in use, as seen in Fig. 2. A cord or chain D maybe employed if necessary to connect the base and the board at one end.Hinged as at CZ to the other end of the base is the support E, in thisinstance composed of the two parallel bars suitably braced by thecross-brace, and at the upper end these uprights are connected by thetransverse strips E', having anotch e', into which fits a plate or barFon the under side of the board A. Hooks G, Ysecured to opposite sides ofthe board A at this point7 are adapted to engage staples or eyes oranalogous means g on the outer face of the uprights of the support E tolock the parts in the position shown in Figi l.

H is a brace hinged at one end to one of the cross-bars E of the supportE and its other end adapted to engage in an opening t' in the cross-barI of the base or support C. The board is thus made detachable from itssupporting-frame.

Fig. 2 shows how the device can be folded to occupy little room when notin use, and Fig. l shows the device set up ready for use.
